Really looking forward to see what you'll end up doing with the wrap :)
Awesome car of curse..

Also need to order myself a ED30 splitter.. Must say that car really need a some rust work done on the panels and get everything covered with some fresh paint! Just can't figure out which colour I would go with hehe.. Guess you've been there with your wrap colour too  :rolleye:

Spent Friday morning getting the car ready for the bodyshop. Will go and check on it when I'm back from my holiday this Friday. .

Looking forward to seeing the update Shaun! I really like the look of your winter wheels on the Mk5, may have to pick up a set. I fall out of love with my black Audi rotors (on my black car) at least a few times per month. I've still not go my GTI bumper and copy Ed30 splitter fitted, how much was the genuine splitter?

Cheers

Back from holiday so went to check on golf to find he might need it for another week  :doh:

New wings are on and roof aerial hole smoothed but front bumper inserts are still to be smoothed and splitter to be fitted.

Will pick Helio's up on Wednesday and arrange for arch enemy to come and roll new wings before wrap goes on  :happy2:

Will be keeping them mate. The tyres need replacing so once the Helio's are back on I'll get them refurbed and re-tyred ready for next winter.

Was my birthday yesterday and the family clubbed in to buy me a private plate. My surname is Norris and I get called Nozzer so NO55 ZER seems appropriate  :drinking:

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Picked Helio's up on way home from work. Same finish as last time so no need for a photo. Got the best old tyre put on the spare too  :happy2:

Also went to the bodyshop to see what's what..

Plates ordered and confirmed with the DVLA and insurance company  :drinking:

Plus I've got Autoglass coming out next Friday to change my windscreen. This will be perfect time to fit my new scuttle parts  :happy2:

Over the weekend I noticed a fine line where the insert had been smoothed out on the drivers side (you can't see it in the photo above). I laid a wrap sample over it and it is noticeable so need to get it back in quickly as hoping to have Arch Enemy out on Thursday to roll lips on new wings then Autoglass on Friday before being wrapped the following week.

Seriously starting to stress me out but I know it'll be worth it in the end!

So today Phil from Arch Enemy came out to my work address and rolled the lips up on the new arches. Very pleased with the outcome!

It was nice to drive it properly again as only done a couple of miles in it within the last couple of weeks.



Please excuse the various colours of the bodywork.. it'll look alot different this time next week  :happy2:

Autoglass were here at 7.45, had a decent guy who took pride in his job and even refused a tip!

So it now has a nice new windscreen, scuttle panel & seal, wiper arms and blades  :happy2:

I do also have new trims which go either side of the screen but leaving them off for the wrap..
